Take a Vacation

[Bo Diddley]

Great trip, BD. I'm curious when the two you wrote of served in Austria (I was there '71-73) and loved the places you mentioned.

My bro in law was in Munich something like 93-95. His father kept saying he served in Austria 60 years ago. I'll find out for sure. We went to church in Vienna. He says the church was built a couple of years before he got there. He mentioned because they spent money putting in a nice pipe organ that it wasn't well heated. They've corrected that since.

No shame in eating at five guys in europe as long as it's infrequent. After a week of new food I'm usually ready to have a good American burger and you can only find those at five guys....plus it's the only place I know of with free refills on soft drinks

More often than I liked, but we had plenty of local food.

It was Hofbrauhaus we ate last night. I had something called Bierbratl "a slice of crisp roasted pork belly served with homemade natural gravy, Bavarian kraut and bread dumpling". It was delicious!

We ate a couple of times at a place called Landgasthof und Pension Hartmann, not far from our hotel. Really happy with their offerings as well.

I'll have to resize some pics. I was tagged on Facebook for a bunch that I finally approved, so you can look over there.

We ate a lot of authentic meals. My favorite was at the historic Bierhaus in Munich. We also ate a few meals at Five Guys & Hard Rock Cafe but family.

I was lucky to find this thread. Was sure it was in the Foyer.

Just getting back from a trip to Germany & Austria. This vacation was just what the Dr ordered. Thanks, Byron!

We travelled with Mrs. Diddley's sister, her husband who served a mission in Germany, his father who served a mission in Austria and our youngest who has wanted to go to Germany for as long as she can remember.

Two weeks is a long time to spend with family, but we had a blast.

We stayed in Freiburg im Breisgau and explored some of the Black Forest. I would have been happy cutting this portion out, but family.

Next stop was in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. I love this place! It was even better than I remember 15 years ago. I would have stayed here longer. Walled medieval city, very charming.

We stayed in Munich for six nights and took day trips into the city center, Neuschwanstein, Eagle's Nest, and Dachau. Didn't get up to Regansburg like I wanted.

We spent a few nights in Vienna, stopping in Salzburg briefly. By this time, I couldn't talk people into attending evening concerts. I settled for an organ concert midday in St Peters Catholic Church. There are some really impressive churches in Vienna.

The line between the footprints? From clack’s scrotum.

Maybe you would have a single line - but my scrotum sand line is a solid double.

Those footprints in the sand?

They were mine.

Booked a cruise on Virgin for early 2024. Just found out there is a place to sunbathe topless, which is exciting.

I've never sunbathed with a top on.

Risqué

NWC, sounds like there are only 2 good restaurants in SD. So its Mickey D's from here on out.

I’ve had the carnitas at Cafe Coyote. Truly delicious. My family insists we eat there each time we visit SD.
